Chapter 8 - James Discovers His Long-Mourned Wife Alive Inside
“James...?” Elena whispered, her voice cracking like dry autumn leaves after months of silence and isolation.
James dropped to his knees, crawling across the cold concrete floor until he reached her fragile, shivering form.
He gathered her into his arms, burying his face in her shoulder as uncontrollable tears streamed down his cheeks.
“You’re alive... My God, they told me you were dead... I mourned you every single day,” James wept brokenly.
“Sarah... she locked me in here the night of the crash... She wanted our home, our son, and our life,” Elena sobbed.
Leo rushed into the hidden room, throwing his small arms around his mother’s waist with joyful cries.
